Clancy Wiggum | Simpsons Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia [ show ] Biography Clancy Wiggum was possibly born in Ireland . [7] However, he also seemed to spend at least some part of his early childhood in Maryland, as he mentioned he used to sell ribbons there with his father, Iggy Wiggum . Iggy was a WWII veteran who died in a parade float accident in 1979, along with Arnie Gumble , Sheldon Skinner , Etch Westgrin , and Griff McDonald , all members of Abe Simpson 's Flying Hellfish . [8] He did, however, grow up in Springfield and was among the same class and age group as Homer Simpson , Lenny Leonard , Carl Carlson , Barney Gumble , and possibly Marge Simpson . At an early age, Wiggum played cops and robbers with Homer and other kids his age, showing a clear ambition to become a police officer. As student security monitor at Springfield University , at the age of 16. At the age of 16, he was a hall monitor at high school, and possibly had a part-time security guard job at Springfield State University.

Wiggum was present at the University's germ research labs (of which Prof. C. Montgomery Burns was chairman at the time) when Mona Simpson and the hippie activist group she was part of sabotaged the germ experiments. Wiggum, who had suffered from asthma prior to that, was cured by antibiotics that the group released to kill the germs, and helped Mona Simpson escape the police when she was on the run twenty-five years later to return the favor. Near the beginning of the school year in 1978, Commissioner Wiggum, then a drug officer, was investigating Lenny, Carl, and Homer for taking marijuana, and had his sniffer dog, Sergeant Scraps, sniff Homer to see if he had weed: Sergeant Scraps succeeded in sniffing drugs on Homer, and, to even Wiggum's shock, attacked Homer by biting him in the crotch (as he placed his joint in that area) and started throwing him around like a throw-rug. Wiggum in the late 1970s. In 1985, Commissioner Wiggum was involved in the barbershop quartet called the " Be Sharps ".

Wiggum was a member with Homer Simpson , Seymour Skinner , and Apu . However, a talent scout, who showed interest in the Be Sharps, didn't like Wiggum as a performer. Consequently, he was thrown out of the group. When auditions were held to find a replacement for Wiggum, he attempted to be reselected for the quartet. He wore a disguise under the name Dr. Doolittle, but was found out. [9] Early attempts to get into the Police Force when he was a teenager were unsuccessful on account of his asthma, so when it had been cured he could then pursue his ambition to become a professional police officer. Having entered the Police Academy by age 24, Wiggum managed to work around his many shortcomings and finally become a full fledged officer. By the age of 34, he had managed to work his way up to the position of Police Chief of Springfield. He eventually was promoted to Commissioner after Bart's hoax kidnapping case. It is implied that Wiggum managed to overcome his shortcomings with coaxing methods such as great skills with back massages and charm to get the position of Chief.

But he actually received the job when the frustrated former Chief resolved to give it to the next person he met, which was Wiggum. Another explanation is when mayor Quimby said that he made Wiggum the police chief so that the law would not be enforced to the letter, and he could get away with all his corrupt activities. This may also explain why Commissioner Wiggum has somewhat of a feud with Mayor Quimby, such as getting into a serious argument about Mayor Quimby in regards to Marge's arrest, [10] blackmailing Mayor Quimby with incriminating photos, [11] and even trying to arrest Mayor Quimby for corruption charges. [12] Regardless, Wiggum had accomplished his childhood ambition. Wiggum weighs about 350 pounds and is 5'9" tall. Wiggum and his family today. Other than his job as Police Commissioner, he is also the coach for the Mighty Pigs Hockey team. He is also implied to have a gambling problem, with a tendency to bet on the other team even when his team won.

[13] He also is a participant in the Annual Chili Cook-Off , where it is implied that he holds a grudge against Homer Simpson due to the latter's infamously merciless scathing reviews of various chili. One year, he briefly got his revenge on Homer by including in his chili Guatemalan Insanity Peppers , which he added to his chili specifically in anticipation of Homer tasting his. However, Homer eventually got his revenge by tasting multiple tastes of chili while having coated his mouth with wax (which Wiggum's son had inadvertently planted the idea into him when Ralph attempted to stop Homer when he almost drank from a candle container), leaving Wiggum stunned and horrified while Homer tauntingly told him to "not quit his day job." However, Wiggum ultimately got the last laugh as the Insanity Peppers ended up causing Homer to undergo a psychotic break. Wiggum is also worryingly dismissive of basic firearm safety and uses his gun for various tasks that continuously put his life in danger. Examples include selling pieces of it to feed his family after being fired from his position as chief of police, using it as a nutcracker, and eating donuts off its barrel.

When it goes off and nearly shoots him through the head (instead going through the peak of his cap), he merely remarks on what a close call it was and resumes eating. Personality Wiggum capitalises the negative aspects of the police force and service, especially within Springfield and perhaps the judicial system in general; one could say representative to the stereotype of the American cop, displaying traits such as laziness, abuse of power, authority and position of control, accepting given and occasionally requesting bribes from suspects like Troy McClure and Homer, reckless arresting of individuals without of and or disregard for evidence, ignorance of the law and just general incompetence. His badge actually states on the fine print, "cash bribes only". In addition to the stereotype Wiggum embodies, he constantly eats donuts, more so than the like of Homer Simpson (the actual trademark of the character, becoming so fat that Wiggum states it requires a village to make his pants, can barely walk up a flight of stairs without running out of breath, let alone chase a suspect (although surprisingly he has been able to chase and keep up with the more fitter Snake at times) and his walk has actually become a waddle because of his pint-sized legs having difficulty withstanding his large stomach.

Multiple times, Wiggum displays an ignorance for the law, usually making up his own nonsensical reasons for arresting people or disguising trivial slights on his person as breaking legality rather than actual crime. After being awoken by a high-speed chase by Snake and Homer, Wiggum pursues on the basis to arrest the two of them being that they woke a police officer (although because he stated this into a police scanner there is the off-chance that this is an official law in Springfield). Secondly when Grandpa Simpson ploughed a plane through Springfield, containing illegal narcotics and endangering countless lives, he proceeds to arrest Abe on the basis that he startled him. Upon discovering Abe's popularity amongst the townspeople, Wiggum refuses, alluding his reasoning behind this the law which states; "if you can't beat them, join them". When Lou points out that most of the laws that Wiggum states are nonexistent Wiggum directs him to the law book where they supposedly are and then slaps the book into Lou's face.

On the other hand, Wiggum has occasionally displayed a staunch and ethical direction and clear view of the law, at ties butting heads with the less morally inclined Mayor Quimby who is willing to break legal laws to retain his position as mayor of Springfield. Ultimately, if Wiggum believes that something will make his job that much easier he has no concern with ignoring legal and police guidelines nor is he above using his position to enforce corruption. He openly endorses the prospect of vigilantism, due to claiming that although the law was powerless to help people was paradoxically powerful enough to arrest them, however, Wiggum also exerted a great deal of police time into finding the active vigilante, Pie Man even though it made his job easier but later dropped the case altogether even after Homer revealed himself to be the vigilante. Wiggum's badge His characteristics are notably pig-like, an obvious joke by the animators, amongst these traits his snout and snort-like laugh. When he was 16 Wiggum was the security for Mr. Burns germ warfare lab and he had asthma but the released antibiotics cured him but he still retained his acne.

Outside of his police job, Wiggum used to be the coach of the Peewee hockey team but it's unknown if he kept this job after a violent riot destroyed the stadium. In addition, during that time, it was implied he had a gambling problem, as he ended up not taking his team to a victory celebration feast due to his having bet on the other team. He was also a former B Sharps member before being replaced by Barney Gumble. Wiggum eating a donut with his police gun There have been instances where Wiggum proves to be a good cop at times despite his ignorance and laziness. For example he successfully located the missing Maggie Simpson and helped Homer chase Marge and Ruth Connors when they became convicts. He showed an uncharacteristic level of dedication to his police work when trying to find the shooter who gunned down Mr. Burns and when trying to find the kidnapped Bart Simpson, successfully did so (although at the time Bart was only faking being kidnapped). A large part of Wiggum's incompetence can be factored to the low police funding within Springfield as the only active police response consists of Wiggum, Lou and Eddie and they are given barely enough power to suppress a riot.

Family Aside from his late father, Clancy is the husband of Sarah Wiggum (who he met when he was arresting her for possession of drugs that he planted on her to "make her notice him") and the father of Ralph Wiggum , a second grader at Springfield Elementary . He has a cousin named Mark who went to Pennsylvania State University; Wiggum describes him as a "fat kid" who "played a lot of Tetris." His other deceased relatives include a brother-in-law named Fred Kanneke (who was killed by Dr. Egoyan , who Wiggum arrested as soon as the voters overturned the assisted suicide law) and an uncle who (according to Wiggum) died of "crotch dot." Wiggum also has an unnamed brother who, after attending military school, presumably went crazy and now "owns and operates a famous cave." Finally, he claims to have a sister, who is completely hairless like a Sphynx cat.

Treehouse of Horror In "The Devil and Homer Simpson", Chief Wiggum has a brief appearance in the ending where he and the other members of the Springfield Police Department are waiting outside the Simpsons' house, obviously in anticipation of tearing chunks of Homer's donut-ified head for their morning coffee (a consequence of his narrowly escaping the Devil's snares). Wiggum also briefly appears in Treehouse of Horror VI as part of the PTA meeting on "Smarch", where he bore witness to Groundskeeper Willie's grisly demise. When Willie ominously threatened them for leaving him to die, Wiggum jokingly asked if he was going to use "skeleton power" against their children in reference to Willie's charred corpse appearing skeletal. In Unnormal Activity, he was called in to investigate the Simpson House after the family discovered unusual activity inside it, in particular a blazing flame. He identified it as hellfire, and deduced that someone sold their soul to the Devil and that the devil was expecting his due.

However, upon the ring of a cuckoo clock, he ended up turned into a skeleton (presumably by the Devil) and collapsed into dust, although not before warning the family that the Devil feeds on "more than just fear." Future It is shown in Professor Frink 's future machine that Wiggum will, along with Lou and Eddie, become a Robo-Cop like machine-officer with a rotisserie in his stomach.

It all started a week ago. I was at my desk revising and updating the school dress code when [in flashback] Principal Skinner : I was suddenly confronted by a gang of toughs acting on behalf of one Bart Simpson, or so they said. Louie : [to Skinner] We really think there's promise in the boy. Principal Skinner : [rising from his desk] Get out! Fat Tony : Ok. Ok.

You don't have to yell. Principal Skinner : To get my mind off that ugly confrontation I went home and began bundling my old newspapers... but suddenly the pile fell. I was trapped! Let this be a lesson to recycle frequently. For the next week I stayed alive by eating my mother's delicious preserves and maintained my sanity by dribbling a nearby basketball with my one free hand. I made a game of it. Seeing how many times I could bounce the ball in a day, and then trying to break that record. Occasionally, the police arrived to search my home.

Chief Wiggum : She didn't reckon with the awesome power of the Chief of Police. Now where did I put my badge?... Hey, that duck's got it. Miss Hoover : Martha Washington will be played by Lisa Simpson.

Miss Hoover : Sit down, Rex. Rex : I will not sit down! Someone's gone to you, you deceitful cow! Miss Hoover : That's absurd, Rex. Ralph won the part fair and square. [She opens and closes the blinds repeatedly. Outside:] Chief Wiggum : That's the signal. Take the boot off the car, boys. Chief Wiggum : Walked into a door? That is the lamest excuse in the book.

[scratches his ear with his gun barrel] Chief Wiggum : Oh yeah, that got it. Chief Wiggum : Well, well, well. If it isn't that stupid cop from TV.

[picks his ear with his gun] Chief Wiggum : All right, you scrawny beanpoles: becoming a cop is *not* something that happens overnight. It takes one solid weekend of training to get that badge. Man : [screaming] Forget about the badge! When do we get the freakin' guns? Chief Wiggum : Hey, I told you, you don't get your gun until you tell me your name.

Homer : Solid waste. I could kiss you. [kiss it] Marge : Hmm, maybe I should have taken a nice calligraphy class. Chief Wiggum : Oh, forget it, that Mr. Takahashi's a lunatic! Helen : My name is Helen Lovejoy and I'll be playing Stella. Apu : I am Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. I play Steve. Otto : My name is Otto. I'm playing Pablo. Lionel Hutz : Lionel Hutz, Attorney at Law.

LEGO Minifigures - The Simpsons Series (71005) Review | The Brick Fan Posted on May 1, 2014 by Allen "Tormentalous" Tran Last year, it was rumored that The LEGO Group was negotiating a licensing agreement with 20th Century Fox to produce sets based on The Simpsons animated cartoon series. Some people in the LEGO community applauded this move while others did not approve of this.

Fast forward to this year, LEGO released The Simpsons House (71006) back in February and today, LEGO has released a line of LEGO Minifigures based on the popular TV series. The official name for this series is LEGO Minifigures – The Simpsons Series (71005). There are 60 minifigures in a box and you can get three complete sets of minifigures from a sealed box. Each packet costs $3.99 and contains one random character although you can use our “feel guide” to help you find the character(s) you want. The packet is of a sky blue color with clouds which looks similar to the opening sequence of the show. Homer Simpson The first character in the minifigure series is Homer. Everybody knows who Homer is: father of the family who’s lazy and works as a safety inspector in Sector 7G at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Homer comes with his normal attire with the white shirt and blue pants. His accessories include a printed 1×1 round stud donut piece and a 1×2 tile for his remote control. Feel for 1×1 round stud and 1×2 flat tile.

Bart Simpson Bart is the eldest child of the family and is also the most mischievous. This fan favorite is the second LEGO minifigure on the list and he looks great. He wears a solid red t-shirt with blue shorts. On the back of the torso and legs is printing for his slingshot. His accessory is a green skateboard although it looks fairly large compared to Bart’s height. Feel for his skateboard and wheels. Marge Simpson Next up is Marge who is Homer’s wife and mother of the family. She usually hangs out at the house and tries to maintain order in the household. Her minifigure counterpart has her signature long blue hair which is attached to the rest of her head. Her torso is a green dress with a red pearl necklace printing. The rest of Marge’s dress is a green skirt material that fits over the legs. Her accessories include a pink purse and a copy of Donut Fancy magazine which is seen on the magazine rack at the grocery store in the opening sequence. Feel for her hair piece. Lisa Simpson Lisa is the middle child of the family and is also the smartest of the bunch.

She has a lot of hobbies including playing on her saxophone, riding horses, and concentrating on her studies although Bart sometimes gets in her way of doing those things. Lisa wears a red dress with a white pearl necklace with a red cloth skirt that fits over her legs. Her accessory is a saxophone which is similar to the Saxophone Player’s instrument from Series 11 but with a slightly different color. Feel for her saxophone. Maggie Simpson Maggie is the youngest child in the Simpsons family. She is the least seen and heard from the family and is usually seen sucking on her pacifier. Maggie has a new torso design which creates an infant/baby look. Her accessory is a brown teddy bear that is very well worn. Feel for her teddy bear. Grampa Simpson The last member of the Simpsons family in the Minifigure Series is Grampa. He lives in the Springfield Retirement Castle and is known for his random ramblings and telling stories that didn’t happen. He wears a beige-colored pullover with grey pants.

His accessory is a 2×2 newspaper tile which reads “Old Man Yells at Clouds.” This headline is from the thirteenth episode of the thirteenth season where Grampa meets a woman named Zelda who moves into the retirement home. Feel for his cone-ish head and the 2×2 tile. Ned Flanders Ned Flanders is the Simpsons’ religious neighbor who is a very kind-hearted person. He has a very distinct head with his glasses and mustache. Ned wears a pretty plain green sweater over a pink shirt with grey pants. His accessories include an “I Love South Paws” mug and a red toolbox labeled “Property of Ned Flanders.” Feel for the mug. Krusty the Clown Here we have the clown host of the Simpsons kids’ favorite TV show, Krusty the Clown. His face is a paler skin tone than the other characters in the series. He as a very unique head piece with turqoise hair and red nose. He wears a pink shirt with a blue bowtie and green pants. He wears some white gloves which are pretty much white minifigure hands. Krusty’s accessory is a cream pie. Feel for his head piece.

Milhouse Van Houten Next up we have Bart’s best friend, Milhouse Van Houten. He has a very nerdy look with his thick red glasses. He has blue hair that is combed to the side and has a very large nose. Milhouse wears a lavender-colored shirt and red shorts. His accessory is a 2×2 tile copy of the Biclops comic book that was published by Lenscrafters which is about a bespectacled superhero. Feel for the 2×2 tile and the nose on the head. Ralph Wiggum Ralph is the son of police Chief Wiggum and is an outcast from the rest of the kids. He has very erratic behavior and usually says some of the most memorable quotes in the show. The minifigure stays true to the cartoon with the strands on top of his head. Ralph’s torso shows him with a blue shirt and belt. He has short legs with brown pants. His accessory is a 2×2 tile which represents the “I Choo-Choo-Choose You” Valentines card that he gives to Lisa. Feel for the 2×2 tile and his round head.

Apu Nahasapeemapetilon Apu is the manager of the Kwik-E-Mart convenience store. His catchphrase is always, “Thank you, come again!” The minifigure has a brown head with fairly grey hair and a mustache. He wears a green sweater over a black shirt which is open to show three curled chest hairs. His legs are tan. His accessory is a Squishee cup. Feel for the cup. Nelson Muntz Nelson is one of the main bullies at Springfield Elementary School. He used to bully Bart endlessly but has become one of his best friends. His head is fairly elongated with long brown hair. He wears a short-sleeved light pink shirt under a blue vest and blue shorts. His accessory is a baseball bat. Feel for the baseball bat. Itchy Itchy is an anthropomorphic mouse and is one half of The Itchy & Scratchy Show. This show is unlike Tom and Jerry where the characters attempt to kill each other. He has a blue rubbery head with large ears and elongated face. He wears a short-sleeve orange vest. Itchy’s accessory is a club. Feel for the club.

Scratchy Scratchy is an anthropomorphic cat who tries to kill Itchy but most of the time, he usually ends up getting badly hurt or even killed. Like Itchy, Scratchy has a rubbery head which shows his cat face. One cool piece is his tail piece which sits between the torso and legs. His accessory is a wooden axe. Feel for the axe and the curved tail. Chief Wiggum Chief Wiggum is the head of the Springfield Police Department and is fairly lazy and incompetent. He is also obese but the minifigure doesn’t really show it. The head is sculpted very well and includes his hat and blue hair. The torso and legs have a standard police uniform printing. Wiggum’s accessories include a loud hailer and short grey baton. Feel for the loud hailer. Mr. Burns The last minifigure in The Simpsons Series is Mr. Burns. He is the owner of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and is one of the richest and most evil citizens of Springfield. He wears a greenish suit with a black tie. His accessories includes the mutated three-eyed orange fish, Blinky printed on a clear minifigure head which represents a fishbowl and the green inanimate carbon rod.

Feel for the minifigure head and rod. Results Overall, the LEGO Minifigures – The Simpsons Series (71005) was better than I expected. LEGO did a great job in getting the various details of the characters in the minifigure designs. It was good to see that these minifigures aren’t the same as the ones in the Simpsons House. LEGO stayed true to the cartoon series and the minifigures were well represented. As mentioned before, the minifigures are now available at LEGO Brand Stores, [email protected] , as well as other major retailers. These minifigures are a little easier to feel for than the normal Collectible Minifigures. Also, it may seem that a lot of people will be on the hunt for them in stores. I saw at least three new boxes get dismantled in less than 10 minutes while at the LEGO Store this morning. The only thing I really didn’t like about them was the increased price. It’s understandable that licensing will bump the price up but it may seem that future minifigures will have the same price point from now on.

In conclusion, pick these guys up if you can before stocks run out and let us know in the comments which character(s) are your favorite. The Brick Fan Scoring Summary Design Overall LEGO figs I hope future minifies series don’t have that extra 1 dollar increase. Has anyone felt the quality of the plastic? Is it cheap plastic from china? Bragidon Well, the plastic used for the heads is ABS, but the head of Mr. Burns is rubbery, i don’t have all yet, but i know Bart, Maggie, Apu and Chief Wiggums heads are all ABS, and i think most of them are. Itchy, Scratchy, and Mr. Burns are the only ones that have the rubbery heads. All the others are ABS and feel great and doesn’t feel cheap to me. kingphilbert Loving the Itchy and Scratchy figures. As a Simpsons fan and LEGO fan this entire set was win-win for me. Didn’t even mind ending up with doubles. L.A. Brick Fan Great review, thebrickfan, thank you! After reading this post I was convinced into collecting these as well. Been searching everywhere but can’t find any, so they’re obviously popular.

I do agree with LEGO figs’ comment – the $3.99 price point is a bit much, and I hope the future series that aren’t of licensed themes don’t have similar rates. My local Target is charging $4.99 for these, and Toys R Us has also routinely marked these up by $.50-$1.00 in the past, so having a $3.99 baseline starting point will only exacerbate this. Cheers. LEGO1 I really like the new mold tail piece foe Scratchy. Ive been wanting lego to do that for a while, it would do well with some of the Chima minifigs. Now if only LEGO would redesign those small pants/legs so they can actually move. I wished they gave some of the characters in this series a belly like they have in the show. Aletta This new set flew off the shelves the first 2 weeks after its initial release at TRU, WalMart, Target, etc. We ended up finding them at Walgreens and it was fairly easy to tell who was who via feel.

I think it’s easier to find Flanders if you feel for his tool box as his cup and head can be confused with Apu’s if in a hurry. Also Wiggum is super easy if you feel for his pointy police hat. Now that they have been out for a while, there isn’t anywhere really that I don’t see them. I think the simpsons will end up being the least popular of the minifgures series because kids today aren’t into it. I think it’s more for the adult collector plus the inflated price tag is a total turn off. Our own children did not want them and they absolutely adore all things Lego. We are the simpsons fans so 2 sets ended up coming home with us anyway. My personal favorites are Scratchy, Homer, Flanders, and Krusty. Subscribe to The Brick Fan:
